Are you a deaf or hard of hearing government employee? The Deaf in Government is a networking group that empowers deaf and hard of hearing government employees that helps others to overcome communication barriers, resolve accessibility issues and networking.
There is no charge to become a member member with DIG (Deaf in Government). It is easy to become a member via their website.
As described on their website:
“DIG is a national non-profit organization whose purpose is two-fold. It serves as an employee support group for Federal employees who are either Deaf or Hard of Hearing and as a resource organization for the nationwide government.”
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, DIG has hosted several useful webinars (via Zoom) on topics related to teleworking and working remotely. Previous presentations are available for download for your peruse. You can also sign up for other webinars that may be of interest to you on their website at: www.deafingov.org
